Episode 5 (June 11, 2007): Truly Independent and the Blatantly Mass Market

 We had our first on air interview in our June 11, 2007 show. Luke Y Thompson, then of OC Weekly,  joined us to discuss Independent Genre films and OC Weekly's June 8, 2007 Summer Blockbuster Issue. Luke Y Thompson is a graduate of USC's School of Cinema Television who has been editor-in-chief and staff writer at many irreverent humor and pop-culture news sites including Nerdist, Wizard World, OC Weekly, Forbes, Topless Robot, and Deadline. "The Notorious LYT" combines a sophisticated film school approach with a deep appreciation of popular culture and cult classic films. In many ways, he's a punk rock mashup of Joe Bob Briggs and and John Bloom, but who is always himself.
